hello -
recently i installed php70 using webtatic but it appears the centos community does not recommend using webtatic.
i am trying create an environment where i can run both php56 and php70 at the same time, and it was recommended in the centos7 forum to use software collections.
php56 seemed to install nicely enough (although they are missing php-imap). i also used ius to install php56, but the ius community recommended using 'software collections' instead of ius for running multiple php versions.
any opinions on doing this?
i was strongly discouraged against using my old friends configure-make-install !
for the record, i learned that the letter in the suffix is some sort of informal way of designating where it came from:
php56w = webtatic
php56u = ius
software collections takes a different approach:
rh-php56 = software collections
edit:
playing around with virtualbox-centos7, it appears that yum makes it very easy to remove one php version and install another. i have yet to try this on the live centos7 box.
